An Orbed Drop of Light

Galerie Max Hetzler, Paris, is pleased to present Les Fous d’En Face, a new exhibition by Elmgreen & Dragset. Coinciding with Art Basel Paris, this is the artist duo’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, and their first in the Paris space. For Les Fous d’En Face, Elmgreen & Dragset occupy Galerie Max Hetzler’s two spaces at 46 & 57 rue du Temple. Translating to The Fools on the Other Side, the exhibition presents three new installations which build on some of the central elements in the artists’ practice, from absurdist humour and spatial subversion to open-ended narratives. The exhibition is in part underpinned by reflections on the artists’ own past. Through displacement, the objects on display draw attention to agencies embedded in situations and memories that both define the extraordinary and the familiar, the extreme and the mundane.
